HAPPY KEEN DAY Mr and Mrs Threefourteens out there! (My wife said tonight- Is that his IQ? Noone's is that high! I lol'd.) OK, some music. The plan was to upload two tracks, but apparently when checking and editing the final master of "Make It Tighter" just now, there's a glitch in it. Mus...

Good on ya, man. Thanks for the classic fangame and the service to our country. Keep making it happen, and we look forward to seeing the name Link in the video game industry of the future (Zelda pun unintended but unavoidable).

Well, I was planning on digital (MP3) enhanced versions of the MIDi's I convert and enhance, but since there hasn't been any MIDI's for a while, I may release the original pure converted and edited IMF->MIDI translations as well, in (General) MIDI format. I'm actually working on an Apogee tribute CD...

I'll see if I can have a couple of Keen music tracks ready; I don't promise anything, but I should have at least an expanded "Too Hot".

Yeah, Cave Story! Some disturbing stuff, but the storytelling and gameplay are done so well.

Funnily enough, the SkiFree monster was one of mine too.

On a Keen note, definitely the Gargs from K1.

Getting to that ledge inthe secret passage, top-left of the level in the Ion Ventilation System! i was doing that the other day and couldn't do it without the jump cheat. Is there an easier way to do the Impossible pogo jump than what I do, maybe?

Yeah, I still can't do the extra life in the PoM.

Keen 4 on 3DS?!? How? "Daddy" Keen, you need a flash cart called the SuperCard DSTWO, and the emulator DSx86 . The final version has a scaler so you can fit the window in the screen, and is beautiful and playable! I beat Keen 4 on Normal last night, and was even able to beat some Keen 4 H...

<throws hands up> Is that really interesting to anybody?

Which represent the ones that actually play the game through?

Question- without me having to YouTube/video view anything, how can someone beat a game in a minute and a half? Or is this just a single level?

Stealthy, you feel like doing Forbidden on a lower difficulty level, say Normal? I played it the other day and you'd be able to get past the Skypests. Hard has too many, obviously. I don't know if there's any other obvious obstacles but I can't think of any (obviously the start of the level would be...

Tom, Sorry about the failure, I was one of the backers. I think a more community aspect is needed to fund a successful Kickstarter (I helped with quite a few of the Sierra On-Line ones, which have all been funded). But anyway, I'm glad you're still going to make the project, and leaving donations op...

Awesome! I'd totally forgotten that platform existed, and the 7 1-ups.. haven't seen those in years. (Funny timing, since I just played that level a few nights ago, first time in years.)

Had no idea about the door, great find.

Where does the door go under the tar? Anywhere?

Nah, it works with IMF files too. As long as the IMF is extracted correctly (and converted in some cases), and the MIDI's are converted using the correct switches as mentioned before, the MIDI's will be close to note perfect. Instruments will need to be tweaked, and some other alterations made, but ...

Seems a bit out of reach but don't write a 20-year industry veteran off just yet, with his contacts and savvyness. I think it's unlikely too but the community should be here to support him reach the goal, not kill the project off in its' infancy. Post on Facebook, Twitter, etc and spread the word, a...

Everything needs to be in the same folder, as your edit details. You need to make a text file, put the instructions into it, and save as a batch file (or rename it to be .bat). Once you have a batch file, the contents should look like: dro2midi korath.imf korath.mid Where the program dro2midi turns ...
